Title: screw size
Post by: courtney on July 29, 2011, 05:53:24 PM

Hi,

I need a couple of screws to hold the tank badges of a BSA Bantam on - it's the pear-shaped badges. Does anybody know which size these are and perhaps somewhere I can get them if I can't find them in a hardware shop?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for that - I searched for BSA tank badges screws on google and it came up with part numbers, size and sellers. I hate people who ask stuff like that on the internet and there's the whole internet where they can check and get an answer in a couple of seconds..... and now I'm one of them. What a pillock.

Thanks again :)

This was one of the ones that came up on the search, I didn't realise it was here. I got them off ebay, but I think it was you who was the seller anyway. If it wasn't I'll get them from here in the future. Knowing my record the badges will fall off and I'll lose the screws anyway ::)
